THE DUl X HILL BOOM.

Iron ore has lately been discovered at
luck Hill, Grenada, Natchez, Vicksburg,
Bolton and other places in this State.
I'D coal has been found at Beauregard.
An. analysis of the ore found at Duck
Hill shows it to be OF the finest kidney
sarety, possessing eighty three per ce"t
iron-superior in quality to the Birmine-
ham or Pittsburg iron. Efforts are nov
being made to discover the quantity, that
which was heretofore examined having
,een taken from the surface of the ground.
If the ore is found in quantity to justify
working it, Duck Hill will become the
most important town in the State. Al
ready spectators are flocking there In
great number, and property is rapidly in.
c easing in value.
On the 10th inst. the Mississippi Nine
raj and Mining Company was organized
here, with Capt. John Powell, OF Gren
da, as president, and Fl. H. Stadaker, %
Canton. as secretary. There was large
attendance from all points bet.een lIol-
ly Springs and Canton. The object OF
the company is to put into operation
smelling works and foundry as soon as
practicable. A committee of attorneys
was appointed to draft and obtain a
charter, and as soon as this can be done
the organization will be completed and
The stock put upon the market The
capital stock will be about 81 100000.
The existence of iron ore, of very
splendid quality, in the range of hills all
the way from Duck Hill to Grenada, is
now an indisputabIe fact. The topog-
raphy Of the country where the ore j.
found is very similar to that in the
vicinity of Birmingham, Ala.
The Central Mississippi Agricultural
and Land Improvement Association was
also organized on the 10th. The object
of this latter company is to advertise the
farming and timber lands. and to induce
immigration. 1t is said that other CONS
panies will shortly be organized.-Jack'
son State Ledger.

Five States.
Tn the week which closed last Saturday
five new cotton mills. one coal and iron
company, four marble quarries, fifty
ton charcoal furnace and 100 ovens, tw"
tobacco factories, tack factory, wool>
en- factory, a bed-louuge factory and
cutlery works, six water aud nineteen
railroad companies, all were incorporated

the boom having advanced more rapidly
ip that week than ever before, SO tar as
known. The scenes of this extraol dinary
activity are located in five states, those
being Virginia, West Virginia. Georgia,
Alabama and Tennessee. In Chattanooga
alone the actual transfers OF real estate
reached the enormous sum of 81, O0O, ,000,
those in Birmingham being not far behind
this figure. No other section of the union
has enjoyed SO spirited an impetus ior
years, and in many places the real estate
brokers refuse options for more than
three or four hours at the most, custom
ers being plenty and commissions easy,
to get. Everything in the form Of real
property is advancing, with no prosper

Duck Hill is on a veritable boom and
property changes hands every day, en-

So far as demonstrative truth goes
here is not day that passes in Duck
Hill, that some plain simple fact does
not occurr to satisfy the most skeptical,
md inspire the faith of the most hopeful,
that iron in great quantities and of the
ichest per cent is lying loose all around
Ducks Hill. No excavations have been
made by the hand of men, to test its
depth, but nature, through the wear and
ear of lains and freezes, in the years
past, has dug down deep in many places
nd there it cad be found with no dim,
milton in ti.sures and crevasses. Iron i.
there, and now the question is, where is
he coal Daily explorations reveal the
presence of Ignite, which by further
Investigation may lead to the presence OF
,al, Anthracite, Bituminous or coal by
some other name.

GRENADA. MISS, SATURDAY. FEBRUARY 26. 1887

People still come to Duck Hill from
many quarters, and many of them solid
men, not merely spectators who have
cash to pay for one lot in the morning
and sell before noon, for twice what he
gave, but men of money and brains.
These sort are not carried away, bnt
what they see and hear, amongst the
excited throng. but they take off the men
of property, who own the surrounding
country, and then you see conversation,
rather than hear conversation. for these
sort mean business not in lots, but some
thing larger. Sometimes they leave with
a large interest, they have purchased, but
it is not the reporters property as news
Many others come and leave with all
the information that bears upon the
question of iron, without communi,
eating anything that newspaper can
handle. but they are demonstrative
enough to tell or show their purpose.
